Bournemouth vs Luton Town called off after Tom Lockyer collapses
The visitors took the lead three minutes into the game through Adebayo, who could have added to his tally with the opportunities presented to him. But, Dominic Solanke added to his scoring tally this season by finding the back of the net for a ninth time this season to grab the equaliser.
Tom Lockyer also collapsed in the play off finals against Coventry in the summer, and this is the second time that such an incident has occured. A fresh medical report is expected from the club in the coming hours, after the initial response that he is responsive.
Our thoughts are with the 29-year-old Welshman, alongside all of the footballing world, to hopefully make a speedy recovery to the pitch.
